WaveSorter 1.0.0

Please see the 'About' menu item for credits and attributions.  In addition see the manual (docs/Manual.pdf) for full instructions on how to get the most out of WaveSorter.

WaveSorter works on all major 64-bit platforms.  To get started download the tar.gz file to wherever you want to run WaveSorter and extract it.  You should be able to launch the program directly by clicking on the binary; if not, email me (my email address is in the 'About' box).

When WaveSorter launches for the first time, create a new profile.  You will then be prompted for your default data and default data output directories.  After that, just start playing around with the sliders, disks, transforms and clustering algorithms and you should be able to do pretty well on your own for now.  One non-obvious feature worth noting is the ability to 'zoom in' on the waveforms (right panel) using the scroll wheel, and drag the view to the left or right.  Click the 'Set Samples' button to restrict the clustering to just the visible samples.  Another feature is using Centers for Manual clustering; these partition the unaccepted waveforms in the current session into regions as measured by 2D Euclidean distance.  These are useful for using with Circles; separating the discarded waveforms into distinct clusters where appropriate can improve the statistical validity of the clustering.
